When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my vb 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5 (here) and since then I have cut it down and adapted it for vb 3.6.
The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. A while ago David gave me permission to release my adaption, but until now I haven't got round to it. Trigunflame did mention a few months ago he was working on a new version, but nothing ever appeared.
I have stripped out much of the extra stuff that I do not use (or indeed, could not get to work). This is a simple (lite) version that does a php based dump of your database either as one file, or one file per table. It's been in use on our forum since the day 3.6 was installed.
Notes:
* I will not add anything new to this, or spend vast amounts of time supporting it.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic 3.0 backup functionality on 3.6.
History:
v2.10 : First internal version. v2.11 : Bug fixes, some code changes. v2.12 : Initial Public Release.

Thanks... I'm kind of surprised that there isn't wildcard functionality, you'd think it would make things a lot easier. ::shrug:: I did a quick
copy *.sql 2006-12-19.sql
And then
source c:\2006-12-19\2006-12-19.sql
And it seemed to restore fine. Thanks for the help... I thought it might be useful to post the specifics back in case any other non-linux fossils like myself come looking for an answer in the future ;-).
I assume there's a comparable command in linux to concatenate the files into a single .sql so that you can restore from a backup without going through (in the case of my particular DB) 182 source commands?
Adding a backup to single file option might be helpful, though I can see how having each table individually would be useful too...

If there is I don't know what it is - I have to join them in windows.
How dreadfully ironic. In order to do a restore we have to ftp the files to a WINDOWS host to run a *command line* utility so we can put the file back up on the Linux host and run the restore? ::laughter::
I'd think the MySQL community would add wildcards just for that reason.
Sorry... I realize nobody else might find that amusing but I can't help it...
